Proverbs 26:27 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. Whoso diggeth a pit - See note on Psalms 7:15. There is a Latin proverb like this: Malum consilium consultori pessimum, "A bad counsel, but worst to the giver." Harm watch; harm catch.
